LeBron James and business partner and longtime friend, Maverick Carter, have teamed up with social media platform Clubhouse to produce new content, in addition to its current programming.
After producing The First One, 17 Weeks, and More Than A Vote: Vaccine Special, and DJ Khaled’s podcast, James and Carter are presenting their newest endeavor, “SpringHill Live.” The latest step in “its mission to empower greatness in every individual from creators to fans,” SpringHill will “cultivate various Clubhouse rooms, featuring conversations surrounding the upcoming NBA season, the plight of black quarterbacks in the NFL, and the NIL.
“Clubhouse and SpringHill share a focus on empowering creators and celebrating culturally relevant moments,” says Sean Brown, Head of Sports at Clubhouse. “I’m proud to welcome SpringHill to the Clubhouse family and partner with them to bring their distinct perspectives on sports culture and inspiring conversations to the global community at Clubhouse.”
The partnership announcement arrives after Clubhouse finally opened the platform to everyone, removing the invite-only and waitlist. The partnership with SpringHill is not the first for the platform; It has also worked with the NFL, NHL, and most recently, TED.
